Ecliptic + Von Ebert collaboration Blackberry Meyer Lemon Ale
Portland’s Ecliptic Brewing is on pace to release a new cosmic collaboration beer almost every month of 2021. Following up the Ecliptic + Chuckanut Vienna Lager released a few weeks ago in March, the latest is a Blackberry Meyer Lemon Ale made with fellow Portland brewery Von Ebert Brewing. 16oz cans and draft begin shipping April 14th.
More from a press release:
Ecliptic + Von Ebert Blackberry Meyer Lemon Ale is brewed with Pale and Wheat Malts, as well as Kveik yeast. This unique Norwegian yeast strain imparts clean, fruity aromas and flavor, which complement the real blackberries and Meyer lemon added to the brew. A collection of hops, including Strata and Mandarina Bavaria, further highlight the fruity and citrus flavor profile of this refreshing beer. Clocking in at 6% ABV, this super dry beer is the perfect springtime release.
“We’re working with five breweries this year, all from the Pacific Northwest,” says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris. “Sam Pecoraro, and lead brewer, Eric Ebel, have been making some tasty beers, so we wanted to team up. We’re excited to play with Kveik yeast for the first time and punch up the beer with all the real fruit added, too.”
Ecliptic + Von Ebert Blackberry Meyer Lemon Ale will be released in 16 ounce cans and draft throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network on April 14th. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up-to-date details on this release and virtual launch party, tentatively set for April 29th.
